Continuing on the shaped gift box theme this one is shaped like a mail box and so has plenty of room inside. Again this one is Christmas themed but you could easily change to fit the season.

Envelope Gift Box
November to March is a busy time of year for me with Birthdays and Holidays. If I can make a box for small presents I will simply because it can make a simple gift seem more thoughtful and also so I don't need to find the sticky tape!.
This box uses cardstock and glue and all you need is a score board and scissors. Finished box unit is approx. 5 1/4 inches by 3 1/2 inches. In the video these are then grouped for the final project but there is no reason why you could not use them individually.

Making cards- 9 cards one sketch
Not for the youngest of kids this one and preferably with a safer method of cutting paper to size! No fancy gems, gels, glues and inks - only paper, card double sided tape on a roll, scissors, paper trimmer and a printer to print out the instructions and messages for the card fronts.
